Ask Joe Lieberman

MJS's picture

How many stones must a man hurl down
Before you bleed from your hands?
Yes, 'n how many votes must a candidate get
Before you strike up the band?
Yes, 'n how many crimes must the White House commit
Before you make a last stand?
The answer, my friend, is ask Joe Lieberman
The answer is ask Joe Lieberman

How many dimes must a man cough up
Before they are spent for peace?
Yes, 'n how many lives must end in the sand
Before we tame the killing beast?
Yes, 'n how many lies will it take till we know
We have turned the most to the least
The answer, my friend, is ask Joe Lieberman
The answer is ask Joe Lieberman

Yes, 'n how many guns must we ship overseas
Before we stop the killing game?
Yes, 'n how many hearts must be broken apart
Before our heads are all buried in shame?
How many fears can a Congress exploit
Just to keep their jobs and their fame?
The answer, my friend, is not Joe Lieberman
The answer is not Joe Lieberman

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Acronym. Modern Monetary Theory. Key takeaway: Since the United States is sovereign in its own currency, Federal spending is not operationally constrained by revenues (unlike non-sovereign households, non-sovereign states that use Federal dollars, like CA, or countries, like Greece, that use the Euro).

I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Americans United is dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
